Christmas Morning Cup

October 18, 2010 By Connie | 2 Comments

Mary Jo from Technostamper's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge has a clean and simple sketch today that I just had to play with (TSSC 144).

I wanted to use Morning Cup stamp set in a Christmas theme…although I wish I would have used a Christmas greeting instead of the one available in the set. I love the sayings in the set, it didn't really fit with my Christmas theme and I really didn't want to add a third stamp set with this simple card! Pretend that it says Happy Holidays or something else holiday appropriate! lol!

For my clean and simple card, I started with Old Olive cardstock for the base. I used Jolly Holiday Designer Paper for the strips in the background. This sketch is a great way to use up those little scraps! I stamped the cups from Stampin' Up!'s Morning Cup on Very Vanilla with Black Stazon Ink, then used my AquaPainter and Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers to color them. I added a shadow at the bottom with Sahara Sand marker. I stamped the little Holly from Jolly BIngo Bits in Old Olive Classic Ink on Very Vanilla and used the Cherry Cobbler marker to color in the berries. It is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on the front. The Very Vanilla piece is layered onto Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. I added a little Rhinestone to one of the cups for a little BLING!

Isn't that a sweet card? And so quick to make up a bunch! I'm definitely going to think about this sketch for my holiday cards this year!

That's it! Pretty simple, huh?

October TOUR DE FREAKS starts Wednesday! Make sure to check back and take the tour!

I have a couple spots left in my next Round of Ribbon Shares! Find more information HERE!

With the new catalog, Stampin' Up! has introduced a lot of new ribbon colors! So, I thought it was time for more Ribbon Shares. Each Group of Ribbon will be wrapped around 1-2 pieces of cardstock so your ribbon arrives wrinkle-free and organized.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
